Pretty sharp~!

How are your handling the density (aggression-wise)?

fragbox.ca 07-11-2012 03:12 AM

lol i'm not handling it very well. basically weekly pruning of everything that touches then I just sell the frags

reefwars 07-11-2012 03:27 AM

looks incredible i can see im going to have my hands full in the nano contest:P

Enigma 07-11-2012 07:05 PM

Very nice!

mandyplo 07-11-2012 07:11 PM

Holy crap keeping it simple is right! I was very surprised at the no dosing. Not even calcium? Very impressive !!

Do you have SPS LPS zoas AND softies(leathers etc) in there?!?

Simple and crazy-stunning! Work of art with the combinations of corals and colors!

Skimmerking 07-12-2012 02:16 PM

Wicked looking tank, however what about the SPS touching the LPS are you not worried about that?

fragbox.ca 07-12-2012 05:11 PM

thanks everyone for the compliments

I try not to let the sps and lps touch :D its very difficult thought!
I have become a master at pruning the corals

FishyFishy! 07-13-2012 08:14 PM

I absolutely love the simplicity.

mandyplo 07-14-2012 01:22 AM

I can't get over your tank! It's so simple yet AMAZING!!! Very inspiring. The colors you have in there are just stunning.

fragbox.ca 07-17-2012 04:13 AM

thank everyone!

I got some very nice new corals I'll upload some photos soon

this is 'chili'
http://i1092.photobucket.com/albums/...TOTM/fish1.jpg

This was 'purplina'. RIP she jumped last week. most evil fu$@#%g fish in the world. It was a terrorist but we had a love hate relationship and I miss her.
anyone else become emotionally attached to a fish or should I seek professional help?

fragbox.ca 11-19-2012 11:18 PM

thanks everyone! more updates to come soon

mrhasan 11-19-2012 11:54 PM

I HATE dottys! No emotional attachment or anything! Maybe they would be better off on a grill pan :P

Tried giving it the chance for staying in my tank but it didn't use it properly!!! :twised:

But love the nano :D

mrhasan 11-19-2012 11:54 PM

Chili is like "hello everyone" :P
